The Crimson Ghosts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her sky blue eyes clouded sky white
The cleaner fish just cleans her shoulder
Sewn up with much love and style
Produce and consume, that′s the deal girl
They said and then she dived
No hand to reach for none to reach with
She sang and sank and then she died
Ophelia sung
All those dumb bad things
Oh she has sung
Silly songs by earnest men
Oh she has sung
Oh those dead girls will
Ophelia sung
Through dams past a molochs far glimmer
Whose piss wipes last greens of her eyes
Somewhere's a dish
And in that dish... oh
Hot bay sweats on her thighs
Ophelia sung
All those dumb bad things
Oh she has sung
Silly songs by earnest men
Oh she has sung
Oh those dead girls will
Ophelia sung
Along the factories along towns trees and fields
Along to the sea she drives
Then she falls slowly like dry willow leafs
Into depths without tone and time
Ophelia sung
All those dumb bad things
Oh she has sung
Silly songs by earnest men
Oh she has sung
Oh those dead girls will
Ophelia sung
The lyrics to The Crimson Ghosts's song "Ophelia's Song" vividly describe the tragic demise of a young woman named Ophelia. The song opens with Ophelia floating on a dark river, her gaze clouded with despair. She is bereft of human connection, save for the cleaner fish that are drawn to her shoulder. Though Ophelia has been lovingly sewn up, her wounds are not merely physical; she is spiritually and emotionally wounded by a world where the dominant ethos is that of consumption. Ophelia is alone in her pain, and the only response she can muster is a mournful song.
As the song progresses, we learn more about Ophelia's journey. She passes through a series of industrial landscapes and natural settings, finally making her way to the sea. In each place, she seems to be searching for something or someone, but she finds only despair. The final image we have of Ophelia is of her slowly falling "like dry willow leafs / Into depths without tone and time." Her song echoes long after she is gone, a testament to the tragic beauty of a life cut short.
Line by Line Meaning
Ophelia floats on a dark river
Ophelia's life feels aimless and without direction, much like a river that flows without purpose.
Her sky blue eyes clouded sky white
Although Ophelia's eyes are bright blue, they are overshadowed by the bleakness and vastness of the sky.
The cleaner fish just cleans her shoulder
Even though there are creatures around her, they do not offer her comfort or protection but instead only perform a mechanical duty.
Sewn up with much love and style
Ophelia's appearance may be aesthetically pleasing, but it is all a facade to mask the pain and suffering she is going through.
Produce and consume, that′s the deal girl
Ophelia is trapped in a cycle of consumerism and exploitation, where she is expected to produce but ultimately consume herself in the process.
They said and then she dived
The pressure and expectations placed upon Ophelia prove to be too much, and she is forced to take a drastic action to escape them.
No hand to reach for none to reach with
Ophelia is alone in her pain and has no one to support or comfort her in her struggles.
She sang and sank and then she died
Ophelia's final moments are filled with grief and despair, as she realizes that no one is there to save her from her fate.
Through dams past a molochs far glimmer
Ophelia passes through obstacles and dangers, both literal and figurative, to reach a distant hope that ultimately proves to be empty and unfulfilling.
Whose piss wipes last greens of her eyes
The harshness and ugliness of the world around Ophelia dulls and destroys the brightness and beauty within her.
Somewhere's a dish
There is a possibility of happiness or fulfillment, but it is always out of reach and unattainable for Ophelia.
And in that dish... oh
Hot bay sweats on her thighs
Even the small moments of pleasure or comfort that Ophelia experiences are stained with pain and discomfort, never allowing her to fully enjoy them.
Along the factories along towns trees and fields
Along to the sea she drives
Then she falls slowly like dry willow leafs
Into depths without tone and time
Ophelia tries to find purpose or meaning in a world consumed by industrialization and development, but she ultimately realizes that her life is meaningless and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, leading her to a tragic and lonely end.
Ophelia sung
All those dumb bad things
Oh she has sung
Silly songs by earnest men
Oh she has sung
Oh those dead girls will
Ophelia sung
Despite her pain and suffering, Ophelia's voice continues to sing out, though her messages are often ignored or misunderstood by those around her. In the end, her voice fades away like those of other forgotten women before her.
